Synopsis

This study provides a novel account of the public goods dilemma. The author shows how our present system, in its quest for fairness, helps to breed the parasitic "free riding" it is meant to suppress. He assesses alternatives such as spontaneous group co-operation, which would imply some degree of free riding, and suggests that these groups would eventually drift from voluntary to compulsory solutions. Professor de Jasay argues that these perverse incentives are the principal cause of the poor functioning of organized society. Anthony de Jasay is also the author of "The State".
